Bathroom Remodeling: Different Kinds of Tubs

????

When remodeling your bathroom, one of the toughest decisions you will have to make is picking out a new bathtub. Nowadays, there are so many different kinds of tubs to choose from, it can make your head spin. Here, we have compiled a list of the most common bathtubs, so that you might be able to choose a bathtub which would best suit your bathroom remodel.

Tub-Shower Combo

Probably the most common type of tub is the tub-shower combo, more formally known as the “three-wall alcove.” Of course, with this tub, you have the benefit of choosing between a shower or a bath every day, which can be convenient. But oftentimes, they are not the most attractive solution, nor do they provide you with that garden-tub feel.

Framed Enclosures

If you’ve decided on a very specific bathroom style, and want your tub to be incorporated seamlessly, you could consider using a framed enclosure. These frames can match your cabinets, tile or any other aspect of your bathroom, whichever you choose. Drop-in tubs will be placed inside these frames, so that you can don’t have to forgo a tub in order to keep your design intact.

Clawfoot

This timeless bathtub has last through every bathroom design fad there has ever been. Because of the signature “feet,” these tubs can be deeper than your average bath, giving you the chance to enjoy being completely immersed in the suds and water. With high backs, these tubs can support your head and neck during extra-long soaks. Clawfoot tubs are certainly ideal for those who take baths on a regular basis.

Freestanding

There are different kinds of tubs that can be considered “freestanding.” Similar to the clawfoot tub, these tubs are stand-alone and do not require the support of a wall or frame. More often than not, freestanding tubs have a modern design and can be shaped like a bowl.

Corner

To optimize your space when bathroom remodeling, you can opt for a corner tub. In doing so, you won’t have to sacrifice the size of your tub in order to suit your bathroom. Usually, these tubs have whirlpool features, which can turn your bath into a spa-like experience.

Additional, Fun Features

Like with the corner tub, there are several features that you can look for when you choose a bathtub. Whirlpool features, such as jets or bubbles, can create a hot tub-like experience, loosening up your muscles and relieving tension. LED lights can be added to further enhance your time in the tub.

If you like to listen to music, there are tubs with speakers in them so that you can jam out and unwind at the same time. Built-in touch pads can control the functions of your jets, temperature, music, LED lights and much more. You would be able to turn your ordinary bathroom into a relaxing paradise with just a bathtub.
